The Global Talent Pathway can be applied through the Global Talent Independent Program. This could be your pathway to harness global opportunities and enhance Australia’s thriving sectors. Designed for individuals with exceptional talent, the program offers permanent residency, allowing you to bring your skills to one of the most prosperous, safe, and culturally diverse nations in the world.
In November 2019, the Australian government launched the Global Talent Independent Program (GTIP). The program is designed to attract skilled professionals and researchers in the future-focused target sectors. The program was launched with an aim to boost Australia’s innovation and technological advancement as well as fill crippling labour shortages in these sectors.
Over the past 5 years, Ten Heads has successfully processed 450+ Global Talent

Not all health issues or police issues lead to a refusal. Book an initial consultation with our Registered Migration Agents to discuss.
The priority sectors include AgTech, Space and Advanced Manufacturing, FinTech, Energy and Mining Technology, MedTech, Cyber Security, and Quantum Information, Advanced Digital, Data Science, and ICT.
Interested individuals must submit an EOI via the Global Talent contact form on the Department of Home Affairs website. The EOI should include personal details, evidence of achievements, and information about the nominator.
Required documents typically include proof of achievements, nomination details, evidence of earning potential, a resume, and other supporting documents that demonstrate the applicant’s exceptional talent and international recognition.
The processing time for the GTIP is generally faster than other visa subclasses due to its priority status. However, the exact time can vary depending on individual circumstances and the completeness of the application. On average, it takes 1 year generally.
Benefits include permanent residency status, the ability to live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely, access to Medicare, the opportunity to sponsor eligible relatives, and the potential to apply for Australian citizenship.
The Fair Work high-income threshold is a benchmark used to assess whether applicants meet the earning potential criteria for the GTIP. Applicants must demonstrate they are likely to earn at or above this threshold, which is updated annually.
The Departmental officers prefer decision-ready applications so we always recommend our clients to complete the medicals and submit the police checks as soon as possible after submitting the visa application.
Many applicants who come to us have some degree of complexity in their cases. Australian Migration Law and policy is highly complex and mostly has fixed rules. It is best to seek advice from a Registered Migration Agent.

We also help by providing complete document checklists and templates – so a decision ready application can be submitted.
